Hi All,

First, as a brief correction, the edit-athon has been a partnership with UBC Library, SFU, and BCIT for two years and mainly has been the brain child of Katherine Miller from Woodward Library - UBC with the help of myself and Will Engle from CTLT.  The credit for planning really should fall with Katherine Miller and the other libraries involved.  However, we are really thankful for the support from BCcampus this year.

As for the subject material, last year there was a focus on Canadian female scientists at your institution.  I believe this year it is more broadly about Canadian scientific activity/invention/ or scientists generally. It is best to keep a broad theme so people will connect with an area of interest.

Best,
Erin

I’ll see if I can generate interest here at UFV. Any word on:

 

What specific disciplinary areas are being considered/included as “science”?

 

Is there a theme?

 

Thanks.

Hello all,

 

I’m keen to organize a satellite event at Langara. Like Debra, I’d like to attend another institution’s Edit-athon if we can’t drum up enough interest here. I’ve also asked our new Science librarian, Corrie Playford, if she’d be interested in participating.

 

All the best,

 

Lindsay

Hi all,

 

A number of institutions are planning a Wikiedithon this September and Katherine Miller(UBC) Will Engle (UBC) and Lucas Wright (BCcampus)have the planning underway.  Here’s a link to last year’s advertising UBC’s event last year - http://guides.library.ubc.ca/scilit16/wiki

 

The idea would be that those who want to participate , there will be an opportunity to watch a webinar (although not necessarily needed) and they register for a wiki account.  BCcampus will be providing pizza for each institution

 

This is the beginning of the planning and a dashboard has just gone up with some initial information https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/BC/Science_Literacy_Week_BC_Edit-athon_(September_18-24,_2017)

 

BCIT, KPU and SFU are also participating. Douglas is listed but I have as yet to solicit interest here.  I want to participate personally so I will go to another institution’s Wikiedithon if one doesn’t pan out here.

 

Let us know if you would like to participate, either individually or institutionally. Katherine and Lucas are part of this listserv and I’ve added Will to this email as well in case you have any questions for them.

 

Debra,
